* FragileSpeedster: In ''Nocturne'', he has relatively low defense compared to the boss before him, meaning that he actually doesn't take too many hits to kill. The main issue is actually being able to hit him in the first place, due to him buffing his hit/evasion to max.

The Pale Rider is almost always the most powerful... except for the ''Persona'' games, where he's an early/mid-level Persona and weaker than any other Riders in the games.
** Black Rider is weak compared to the other 1/256 Fiends in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV''. Instead of having a devastating opening like the rest, he'll just open with five Wastrel Beams, which can be countered simply by going on a spending spree before hunting him. Beyond this, he cannot buff or debuff himself, only has a few attacks, and his Almighty move is Megidolaon, the weakest used by the Fiends.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', while their levels are arranged in the usual order of White-Red-Black-Pale, Red Rider is bizarrely given a higher status than any other 1/256 Fiend. He is in an area only accessible on Neutral, enters Almighty spam mode more frequently than the other six, his Almighty skill is the debuffing Antichthon, and awards 10 of each Incense upon defeat.

** Alice appears as a Case File boss for the Chaos-Alignment exclusive "One Girl's Happiness" case in ''VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsKingAbaddon''. First, Raidou must complete the two "My Wish" cases. Later, a request from "[[ArsGoetia Uncle Red and Uncle Black]]" will appear in the Case Files section. They have lost Alice and come to Raidou for help finding her. Raidou must then speak to two girls by the Tamoten Shrine in Tsukudo-Cho. According to them, there's a rumor that a blue-eyed foreign girl lingers in the back stall of a bathroom in their school. The girl will ask a person if they will be her friend, and if somebody agrees then she will kill them. The girl who explains the rumor reveals that she said no and that the girl is still haunting her. Alice will then appear and pose the same question to Raidou. [[ButThouMust Regardless of the answer]], a battle will initiate.
